It’s nearly ten years since Friends went off the air and star Courteney Cox has unequivocally confirmed that there will not be any kind of reunion.

When asked by David Letterman on his late night show in America if a "Friends thing" would ever happen, the actress said: "It’s not gonna happen."

Her refusal comes just days after the show’s creators also confirmed they had no plans to give the sitcom, which ran for ten years, a reboot.

Courteney, 49, also told of how hard it is to get the six Friends (Jennifer Aniston, Matthew Perry, Matt Le Blanc, Lisa Kudrow and David Schwimmer) together for dinner, joking: "Let me tell you something: there's six friends and I've been trying to put together a cast dinner for 10 years. It doesn't happen!"
